I have a front passenger side door ajar light that is on. It came on just after the warranty expired. As time went on, it caused my battery to go dead leaving my wife and daughter stranded. After replacing the battery i did some online research and found that this is unfortunately a very common problem that ford is unwilling to address. I also determined that i needed to remove the dome light fuse to disable the…

My driver side door ajar alarm is constantly activated, even when the door is shut tightly. Because the door ajar is always activated my car alarm has started going off randomly, so now i can no longer lock my car without fear that the alarm will be set off while i'm away from the vehicle. While driving the sensor for the door ajar keeps dinging, which is very distracting and causes confusion. It also refuses to go…

The front driver door sensor will not go off no matter how many times you open and re-close the door. This causes the following to occur: 1) when driving the car, the doors will not lock, which is a major safety issue for those with children 2) when leaving the car, the door is not recognized as closed so the interior dome light and side-view mirror lights all remain on. This drains the battery while the car sits…

Door ajar sensor stays on as if door is open. Dome light stays on and car will not lock properly. Whether i am in motion parked or just idle the door ajar signal stays on and i have to open and close the door 2-10 time every time. Also, my back up camera is functional but the picture won't come up on the screen.

After closing the driver side door, the door ajar light comes on. The doors used to automatically lock as you put it in reverse/drive if all of the doors are closed properly, but the driver side door sensor tells the car door is ajar. This not only annoying to see the pop up, the interior lights stay on which is also a safety issue. Ford has received many complaints on this issue but is refusing to do a recall.

Door ajar light won't go off when you close the door. It's been to the dealer twice and they don't do anything about it. Seems like a widespread problem amongst all ford edge products.

Driver's door ajar warning keeps coming on. It would go away after a few attempts, or some cleaner sprayed into the locking mechanism area. But now, it's warning at all times. Dome lights stay on, warning chimes when the car isn't moving quickly, and car doors won't lock b/c it thinks the door is ajar. I think that and having lights on when you're reversing at night are the two biggest safety issues. The other…

At the end of february my "door ajar" light kept staying on after closing it- i had to repeatedly close it to get the light to go off. On march 5th my vehicle lost power while traveling down a main highway at night with my 2 year old daughter. I had to pull over and wait for someone to come help us. I am just thankful i wasn't on a major highway or interstate when this happened. I called ford on march 7th to…

Door ajar warning stays on even though door is closed. Very annoying and frustrating. Have to close door multiple times to get it to go off. Car has only 36,000 miles on it. Afraid may run battery down because lights won't go off. Tired of having to keep slamming doors to get it stopped. Researched and found other of their models did this and were recalled but for some reason they won't do the edge. *tr

When the door is shut, vehicle continues to state the door is ajar. This causes the interior lights to stay on. When the lights are on, it is not possible to see out of your rear view mirror. Because of this, when you back up, you cannot see anything behind you.

The driver side door constantly displays the door ajar warning light. This prevents the doors from locking while driving and keeps the lights on within the vehicle when shut off. I was told by dealer it is a known problem with the edge and is expensive fix. *tr

The door ajar indicator remains lit even when door is properly secured. This results in the interior lighting remaining on and failure of the door locks to properly activate, even at highway speed. I am a former investigator for the u.s. Dot and i find this to be a very dangerous situation which should be recalled. If the doors are not properly locked there is an increased risk to occupants of the vehicle in the…

My driver door ajar light stays on and will not lock the doors even though it is clearly shut completely. This allows the dome light to remain on also. After several times of opening and shutting it finally registers that it is closed. Had my mechanic look at it he cleaned it and lubed it which cleared it for a day but is doing it again. Looks like it needs a whole new door latch. I have found many complaints about…

I just purchased my ford edge 2 weeks ago and the rear left door ajar light keeps coming on when the door is not open. I have stopped the car, open and closed the door but the light will still stay on. When we lock the doors at night, the alarm will go off several times in the middle of the night. Worried if the doors are even locking at this point. I called a ford dealership and they said it was just a technical…
